Surviving Your First Day at Campus

Soon the new students will start classes.College students certainly different from the high school student. In particular, a more demanding way of learning activeness and independence.This to you who just bearing the title of student. There are some important things you need to know.

Achievement in the Early Semester

Brilliant achievement that will be the first step is good for you for next semester-semester. Remember, the number of courses that can be taken one student in each semester depending on student achievement index in the previous semester. In addition, these achievements would ignite your spirit to continue to excel at the next half-semester.


Selectively Selecting Friends

Friend is also one important factor. Independence in college made a fellow student relationships tend to be individualistic. Moreover, if the lecture that followed rarely or do not require cooperation and group cohesiveness.

Friend needed to learn, discuss, work assignments, or get information. Choose friends who fit in and can support your learning achievement because a friend gave considerable influence.

Establish Good Relations with Senior

Senior is also important for you to recognize. Be polite so that we can establish relationship well. They will be more sympathetic if you can appreciate them. You also can easily borrow the book and lecture material. In addition, information about courses, professors, and others also can ask your senior.


Utilizing Library

Nothing to lose if you frequently visit the library. As we know, library is information science warehouse. Especially if you can borrow textbooks from there.

Be Active Students
Being a student, certainly not the same as a student. Do not just pass through the same route every day: home--school-cafeteria-house again.

Many campus activities that you can follow. Starting from journalistic activities, arts, sports, photography, nature lovers, theater, scouts, etc.. Select the appropriate organization and match the interests and talents. Even better if it can support your studies organization.

By association, you can develop skills and deliver your ideas in every activity. Furthermore, you will have the managerial capability and skills in specific areas of a time of need when you've jumped into the community.

Manage your time
In college, you will be free and independent. For that, you yourself who will manage your studies alone. Want fast or slow? However, one should remember is that every state university has a maximum time limit of study. So clever-pandailah set the time between lectures with other activities.

Set the time when you eat, when to learn, when to rest, when to exercise, etc.. After you set, then do with discipline.

Read the Information

Information is very important for a student. Whether it's college information, campus activities, scholarship, and others. Sometimes, there are professors who cancel or change class schedules without giving notice directly to students. So, frequently read the announcement, or seek information from friends so as not to miss the news.


Keep your motivation

Motivation to learn remains to be preserved. There are students who have confidence that he will fail through a particular course, though he has not tried it. To achieve good achievement,you must set motivation and strong belief in yourself that you can follow the lectures.

There are also other cases, there are students who are too fond of his organization until his college negligent. All you have to remember is your main goal is college. Do not disappointed your parents by giving a bad performance lecture. But show that you can succeed in college without having obstructed organize.

Stay Healthy

Maintaining health is very important for you because it really affects the health of academic achievement. Health problems will cause a further decline in learning ability to make achievements slump. Even worse can derail your studies in the middle of the road.

Well, friends, enjoy your new experience. Hopefully it helpful for you.

How to deal with final examination

Friends , do you ever feel stress during final exams? I also often feel it, but I have some tips for dealing with them. I hope the following tips useful for you.
1. Avoid stressful people.

Stress actually is contagious. During exam week, resist the urge to have a study session with your super-tense friend, especially if she’s complaining about all the work she has to do and breaking pencils all over the place. Her stress will only add to your stress.

2. Eat healthy and exercise.

This seems like a no-brainer, but it’s a wonder how many people forget it. Skip the sugar, which will make you crash, and go for snacks like granola bars, healthy cereal or fruits and veggies to keep your blood sugar stable. If you’re studying for a long period of time, eat some protein too. Also, try to get some form of exercise. Even a 10 minute walk will leave you calmer and more focused.

3. Just say NO.

I don’t mean to drugs, although I’m not recommending them or anything. What you need to say no to are the people who want to take up your time. There will probably be a friend who needs to talk to you for hours about her life, or a keg party the night before your final, and if you say yes, you’ll probably be tempted to blow off studying. Resist the urge. Say no to the distractions and be selfish for a day. You want a good GPA, right?

4. Force yourself to take breaks.

For every hour or so that you work, take a 10 or 15 minute break. Let yourself do whatever you want (check Facebook, check out that guy sitting nearby, stare off into space, call a friend, etc.) for those 10-15 mins, then start working again. This gives your brain a little rest and will help keep you more focused when you are actually doing work.

5. Visualize it all going right.

This is actually my favorite tip of all, even though it sounds kind of nuts. Imagine yourself taking the test and feeling confident that you know all the information. Picture getting all of the answers right, and focus on how relaxed you feel. Then picture the A on your test paper. When you imagine a happy ending, that’s often what happens, because you make the decisions that lead to it without even realizing.

6. If you’ve studied all you can, get up your confidence!

When test-time rolls around, it’s time to get yourself into confidence mode. You’ve prepared as much as you could, and now it’s time to ace the test. The tip here is to do whatever works to convince yourself you are going to do really well. Again, I know this tip sounds a little crazy but you just have to try it for yourself. I think you’ll like the results.

Cheating is true?

Since we are students in campus, we have to consider that we should have great learning skills, but there is one important thing that can be remembered, it is learn autonomously. We should believe in our mind that we can learn by ourselves, and we should believe that we can remember the materials in our learning with our own skills without being helped by other people. In this case, we learn autonomously and our teacher is just a guider or facilitator for us. By learning autonomously, it is easier for us to remember all the materials which have been learned before. For example, when we take an examination, we can remember our own learning easily instead of just make a cheat paper and then we look at it for answer the exam’s questions.

By the way, when we talk about examination, we also talk about how to cheat during the examination, right? Okay… be honest please…

Actually, as we know so far, cheating is very not allowed in all of the examinations whatever and whenever they are. But still, there are many students who are using this way to get high score in the final result easily without being busy by reading many boring textbooks. They think that cheating is true.

Do you know what their reasons for keep cheating in the examination are? Okay, here they are:

1.Cheating is a shortcut to get high score

It is a fact that the students in all schools or universities want to get good results from their study. They will do many things to get them. But, there are still many students who will do a shortcut to get high score. Yes, many of them have possibility to get the high score, but no one can get good results because they aren’t study so that they don’t get any knowledge for their study. In the future, they will have nothing. Remember that good result is when we can applying it in our daily activities.

2.Cheating is a teamwork
Many of students who doing the cheating say that cheating is teamwork. Why? Because when they are cheating in classroom during the exam, it will be coordination between one student to another students. For example, there is one student who opens the cheat paper, and then there are some students who keep watching the teacher movement in front of class, then that answers sheet which fills of answers will move around the class. Oh my God….

3.Cheating is a challenge

When the students do the cheating, they need a big bravery to do that. It is what they called, challenge. They need bravery to hide and open the cheat paper without being seen by the teacher who keeps on eyes for them. Besides that, they dare to communicate each other when the class is silent. I don’t know how to do that because I always nervous when I want to do that, so I decided to do all my works by myself. Heheheee…

4.Cheating is funny
Well, some students say that cheating is funny. It is because when they come out from exam’s room, and they success in cheating, they will laugh aloud and feel satisfy with that. It is wrong. Yea… actually it is very wrong, but you can believe or not, there are many students who do that such a thing.

Okay, those four mentioned things are the wrong thinks. Actually, those who do cheating are uneducated students, because they don’t learn autonomously. They are not believed in their own ability to answer the questions during the examination. Of course, whatever the score that they’ve got, they have nothing.

Campus facilities influence students’ activities

Nowadays, there are a lot of facilities which can be used whether by students or teachers in campus. For example, they are learning and teaching facilities such as infocus, WIFI, language lab, the comforting classroom, and many more. For sport facilities, there are climb, basketball court, badminton court, volleyball court, and also the jogging track in around of the university. Those facilities influence the students’ activities in campus. Would you please to see that?
Let us to check those out …

As we know, most of the processes of our teaching learning in campus are discussion. Whatever the subjects, for example, in semester 4, they are Academic Debate and Discussion, Belajar dan Pembelajaran, ELT Curriculum 2, Essay Writing 2, TL by ICT, Morphology, Sociolinguistic, and many others.

Those mentioned subjects need some facilities for supporting their teaching learning progress, such as infocus which used by the teachers when they want their students to see the materials or whatever that they want to share with their students clearly. Infocus also used by the students who have a presentation when they want to explain their ideas about particular materials on certain subject during the classroom activity.

Without infocus, it is quite difficult to see the materials which have some visual movements or clear pictures that can’t be drown by the teachers or the students. It takes much time if the teachers have to draw their materials on the whiteboard first, and you know what? Sometimes the imitate picture on the whiteboard is not better than the real picture actually, isn’t it?
Okay, now we are a bit fortunate to have those things in every classroom in our campus.

Besides that, we have free WIFI, too.
Well, it is one of the precious thing in our campus, because we have to have unlimited access to see the whole world easily. WIFI is used when the students and teachers or whoever in around the campus want to browse, surf, or download something that very useful to them. But unfortunately, we only have little bandwich to access to internet, so sometimes, it is quite difficult to access to the internet when there are many users who activate their wireless and then connect their computer to the internet by using WIFI. Then, it is more unfortunately, when we want to browse something on the internet which very needed to our teaching learning needs while the others use that WIFI just to have fun with their friends such as chatting through Facebook or YM. It influences the access progress; it takes much time to load from one window to the other window in internet, and it is very bothering. Not only those, when the teachers teach in the classroom, there are many students turn on their laptop and connect to the internet. They pretense in listening to what the teachers’ say, but actually, they have fun with their own chat screen. It is happening in our campus today. So, students prefer this activity than listening to the teachers. Oww.. It’s totally poor..

Okay, I think those two things are enough to be the example of facilities that can influence the students’ activity in our campus today. For the rest, we can discuss those later, insyaAllah.
